Donovan Again Betrays Ethics and Wall Street Reforms

Sep 24, 2010 |

Albany, NY – Proving his talk about wanting to reform Albany is nothing more than a political campaign slogan, Republican Dan Donovan tonight once again demonstrated that he’s unwilling to support meaningful reforms, regardless of whether it’s ethics, election, or Wall Street reforms. Today at 5:30 PM Mr. Donovan joined Republican Senate Leader Dean Skelos at 74 State, an exclusive Albany hotel, and asked the Senator’s cronies to pay up to $10,000 to play. Senator Skelos, the most powerful Albany Republican, has blocked reform year after year.

Sep 24, 2010 |

Americans for Responsible Taxes

Sep 21, 2010 |

The New York organizations released an analysis by the Fiscal Policy Institute finding that a proposal by House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Oh) to extend all of the Bush tax cuts and to cut $101 billion in funding for non-security discretionary programs would hit New York where it hurts – to the tune of $6 billion.
